  • Patent number: 11007742
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dynamic separation and filtration system for dewatering and dehydrating of slurries and sludges. The system includes a compression filter press cylinder in which hydraulic pressure within a sealed liner is used to press and separate moisture from a sludge. A self-contained closed sealed liner pressurizing component is connected thereto, for supplying pressurized hydraulic fluid to the sealed liner, and a compressed air and vacuum and backflushing cylinder component is connected thereto for voiding the press cylinder of a resulting cake. A sludge transfer and metering component supplies metered quantities of sludge to the press cylinder. A dynamic filtration clarifier and thickener initially separates solids from a slurry and thickens the slurry into sludge that is supplied to the metering component.

  • Publication number: 20200366122
    Abstract: A self-charging and powered electricity generating apparatus, method and/or system. The apparatus includes a first mechanism, such as a generator/alternator (for AC) or a dynamo (for DC) and a second mechanism for delivering or applying mechanical energy via a pressurized medium to the generator/alternator or dynamo. The second mechanism delivers sufficient mechanical energy to the generator/alternator or dynamo for the generator/alternator or dynamo to create and deliver electricity to power the second mechanism and also supply surplus electric power/energy.

  • Publication number: 20200269170
    Abstract: A modular, compact, mobile, dewatering and liquid-liquid separation and filtration system. The system processes incoming influents of slurries, solids and liquids at a high speed of operation and in large volumes. System is capable of being modularly scaled, allowing for a continuous steady state operation accommodating any slurry flow rate in a synchronous dynamic equilibrium process. Components and modules integrated into the system include a dynamic filtration clarifier 101 (DFC), a nested-filter dewatering cell 115 (NDC) and/or a compression filter press 125 (CFP). The DFC performs the primary dewatering phase of separating the primary water from the solids creating sludge. The NDC further breaks apart the solids of the sludge, removing interstitial water in a secondary dewatering phase, further lowering the moisture content of the sludge, while the CFP removes the tertiary water from the remaining solid particles by pressing the particles into a solid cake.

  • Patent number: 10093570
    Abstract: A system is provided for the dynamic dewatering of any of a variety of sludges, slurries, or waters. A stream of material is treated in a series of distinct operations to release free water, draw off additional water through vacuum, and compress the resultant dewatered solids to result in a substantially dewatered material. One or more open cells are used in vacuum dewatering in continuous dynamic operation. The system may be integrated into a packaged unit that may be installed at a operation site, and maybe operated with multiple like units to increase treatment flowrates.
